To: timble@nxoc01.cern.ch Cc: www-talk@nxoc01.cern.ch LBL, Physics Division, 5-OCT-1992 I am running the Viola Version of www on a SUN Sparcstation using SunOS 4.1.2. Because after some time memory in use approaches the allocated swap space, I have kept statistics of memory in use by some partcicular processes that I normally start to run in the background. Besides www I have watched xrn, with the X11 or MOTIF window managers under both X11/R4 and X11/R5. I find that memory used by xrn remains about the same over time. However, the memory used by viola grows steadily with time even though no direct access www is being made. I see also some minor increase by X:0. I wonder if such apparent "memory leak" has been noticed by anyone else? Of, course I would also appreciate suggestions for correctiong this problem. Best regards, Werner
